John Calvin highlights that this offering of a cake from the first dough, rather than just raw grain, made gratitude more vivid. It brought the act of thanksgiving from the distant threshing floor into the home and onto the dinner table. This served as a constant, tangible reminder for the Israelites to see God's provision in their daily bread as they prepared and ate it.
